A control lamp glows on the right side of the wheel after driving the car about 50 km. It looks like a tank with an X in it. If you stop the car and start again the lamp does not glow. It needs about 20 km then the lamp glows again. What is the cause for it?

I have a suzuki xl7 2005 model my brake lights are not working I've checked fuses and also the third brake light, fuses are good but it looks as though the bulbs on the third light are blown whatcould

all brake lamps are dead.
and fuses are good. (did you check the right ones, or all?)
what about 3rd lamp?
if they look blown they are, why question that for $1 lamp.
replace lamps that are blown, the filament goes byebye.
fuse #9 is STOP, replace this on suspission
fuse that look ok, can have hair line cracks, we test them with a meter. so as not to guess...
next is this power 12vdc from stop fuse goes to the
stop switch and if stopping (foot brake) the output goes to 12vdc and all lamps on rear (stop)glow.
its cave man simple (unlike new cars that computers do all that)
now my advice, replace all 3 lamps
or take them out 1 by 1 and try them 1 by 1.
because lamps can SHORT and blow that fuse.
all there can be hand for $3,... and a new fuse for 50 cents.

Traction control light flashes

mine does it any time i drive funny, drive on gravel or ?
it's normal
what is not normal, is if it stays on.
what does jeep pulls at 50 mean.??????????????
are what is pulling,???????????
do you mean the car pulls to the left or right ? steering wheel steady/.?
brakes pull? while braking, or brakes pull full time?
if the lamp is on , on flat hard dry pavement, the car needs service.
the operators guide tells you all this, read the pages?. on traction controls.???? do so, read the whole thing.

the lamp can mean:
1: car was out of control and i made corrections.
2: system failure.

connect a scan tool see if there are DTCs on the system.s

Jeep Cherokee stopped and leaked water and will not start

water, is it clear or green or to be more accurate.
is the water on the ground (its on ground right?) same color
as the engine coolant.????????
my guess is you overheated engine. (never drive leaking or overheating or unlimited engine damage can happen)

or it lost water and overheated.
1: check all fuses.
2: is the CEL lamp glowing key on, if not , it will not start, (lamp good)

btw2: make sure coolant is 50% Antifreeze at all times. or worse will happen.

Outlander howling noise in front wheels

with the wheel bearings failure , it is very possible that the "U" joint or cv joints for the front drive were damaged
I would be looking in that area especially as you mention on turning right

Recently service 4 wheel drive lamp came on. And brake slide when

Check the electro-hydraulic control unit mounted on the left side frame underneath the cab. Its made up of the brake pressure modulator valve (bpmv) and the electronic brake control module (ebcm). This controls hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers to prevent wheel lock up. Also check the abs sensor mounted on the transfer case.

Where can I find the schematics for a 1995 Ford F250 7 3 liter turbo diesel? We're able to start the truck on ether, but she won't continue to run. We're guessing it's the fuel pump, possibly the filter or...

drain water from filter. change filter. prime system.
If it doesn't fix it, check glow plugs to be sure they are preheating combustion chamber.

Fuel Supply System The fuel system consists of the following three major subsystems:
  • Fuel supply system
  • Injection control pressure system
  • Fuel injector assembly
The fuel transfer pump is a camshaft-driven, two-stage diaphragm/piston pump mounted in the engine "V".
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank through the primary filter by the diaphragm section of the transfer pump. Pressurized fuel (approximately 28 kPa [ 4 psi]) is supplied to the secondary filter and returned to the second stage of the transfer pump. The piston-actuated second stage of the transfer pump supplies 276-345 kPa (40-50 psi) of fuel to the rear of each cylinder head where it flows to a fuel rail machined in each head.
Drillings in the cylinder head route the fuel to the plunger area of the fuel injector which can pressurize the fuel to 124,110 kPa (18,000 psi) for delivery to the combustion chamber via a conventional nozzle/valve tip arrangement.
Return fuel is plumbed from fittings at the front of each cylinder head to a junction block which contains a piston/spring type regulator valve that maintains pressure to approximately 414 kPa (60 psi). A de-aeration bleed orifice between the fuel filter and the regulator block vents air trapped in the fuel filter. Most of the fuel from the regulator is recirculated to the inlet of the piston (high pressure) stage of the transfer pump. Fuel return to the tank is limited to 30-38 liters (8-10 gallons) an hour through the use of a 0.0008mm (.020-inch) orifice. This prevents the fuel from overheating in the tank.
---------------------------------------
Injector Driver Module The injector driver module (IDM) is used in conjunction with the PCM to sequentially control power to the fuel injectors on the 7.3L DI turbo diesel engine. The PCM processor generates two digital control signals for the IDM: fuel delivery control signal (FDCS) and cylinder identification (CID). The FDCS signal is used by the IDM to control injection timing and injection duration. The CID provides synchronization to the engine's first and fifth injector (firing order). The IDM verifies that FDCS and CID occur at valid timing intervals. The IDM outputs an electronic feedback (EF) signal, to the PCM, which is a delayed mimic of the FDCS for verification. Selected diagnostic information is also passed to the PCM via the EF signal in run mode.
The IDM is a high-energy power supply which acts as an energy distributor to provide regulated injector energy and control to the unit fuel injectors, based on FDCS and CID commands from the PCM. All IDM components are solid state; there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The IDM internal power supply uses a DC-to-DC converter to boost the supply voltage (VBATT) up to 115V DC. This supply is required to overcome the initial impedance of the injectors, ensuring rapid turn on. There are two high side drivers, one for each bank (left and right cylinder bank), and eight low side drivers, one for each injector. One high and one low side must be turned on to energize an injector. Once synchronized with the PCM, the IDM will select the proper low side driver (enable) and control the corresponding high side driver to regulate the current to an injector.
Continuous and on-demand system diagnostic information is provided between the PCM processor and the IDM via the EF signal. During normal operation, the IDM can indicate to the PCM that an injector low side short to ground has been detected, or that the IDM has lost synchronization.
The IDM constantly performs self-diagnostics and also monitors the injector circuits for electrical faults. Any fault codes set are transmitted via the EF signal to the PCM during Key On/Engine Off On-Demand Self Test. If the PCM is unable to obtain diagnostic information from the IDM, DTC 1668 is set.
---------------------------------------------
Glow Plug Control Glow plugs are used to warm the cylinders to improve cold-engine starting. The PCM uses the engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and barometric pressure (BARO) sensor to determine how long the glow plugs will be on. The PCM energizes the glow plugs longer if the engine is very cold or if the barometric pressure is low at high altitudes.
The PCM controls the relay that supplies power to the glow plugs with the glow plug control (GPC) signal. When the GPC signal is grounded by the PCM the relay closes, turning the glow plugs on.
The glow plugs are controlled by the following sequence:
  1. PCM energizes the glow plugs.
  1. The PCM energizes the glow plugs immediately after the ignition is placed in the ON position.
  1. The PCM then determines how long glow plugs will be on based on EOT sensor and the BARO sensor. The required time to warm up the cylinder decreases the engine oil temperature and barometric pressure increases at low altitudes.
  2. ------------------------------------------------------
Glow Plug Lamp Control The glow plug lamp (GPL) signal controls the WAIT TO START light located on the instrument panel. This light is used to indicate when to start the engine. The cylinders are being warmed by the glow plugs during and after this light is lit. The PCM energizes the glow plug lamp longer if the engine is very cold or if the barometric pressure is low.
When the GPL signal is brought low, the "Wait to Start" lamp is turned on.
The glow plug lamp is controlled by the following sequence:
  1. PCM lights the WAIT TO START light after a key on reset occurs.
The PCM determines the glow plug lamp activation time based on engine oil temperature, barometric pressure and battery voltage.
  1. PCM turns off the WAIT TO START light.
The glow plug lamp is turned off when the timer counts to the number of seconds specified by the PCM. The glow plugs will normally remain on longer than the "Wait to Start" lamp.

High fuel consumption

Check the following things: air filter, wheel alignment, and timing belt, all of them if not serviced on time can affect your fuel consumption. I do not think its the heat because I drive my car in Phoenix AZ with temperatures comparable to Dubai and I still get 500+ km/tank.

Good Luck,

Alex (Civic 2003 1.7 manual)
